Rahman, Syaiful (2019) Policy Reform Towards The Implementation of Integrated Waste Management (The Case Study of Pontianak Municipality, West Kalimantan, Indonesia). Magister thesis, Universitas Brawijaya.
Abstract
Background of the research is that the waste problem, as an environmental issue, has always been a serious problem in almost all urban areas over the world especially for many developing countries and cities. In this case, Indonesia is one of those countries that face a problem when it comes to waste management in which waste generation continues to increase year by year. Those phenomena encourage the author to do research about policy implementation on waste management executed by a local government that is Pontianak Municipality. This research is also expected to provide academic, practical and social benefits. Based on the background presented above, then the research questions to be answered in this research are as follows: How is the current state of waste management in Pontianak Municipality, West Kalimantan, Indonesia? What are the supporting and constraining factors in the waste management in Pontianak Municipality, West Kalimantan, Indonesia? What recommendations can be implemented as part of policy reform in municipal solid waste management in Pontianak Municipality, West Kalimantan, Indonesia? Regarding method of the research, the author conducted a single case study in a qualitative approach by conducting interviews with several informants (local officials of Pontianak municipal government both from bureaucrats and a political representative as well as academics and other stakeholders concerned with environmental issues in Pontianak) and using additional data from various documents such as reports or written documents pertaining to the case studied. Result of the research indicates that Pontianak Municipality is still running a collect-transport-dispose method in handling the waste. In terms of waste transportation, the government showed a quite positive performance, getting better year by year. However, Pontianak Municipality is facing a serious problem vii related to the waste volume that continues to increase rapidly without satisfactory performance in terms of waste reduction. This has an impact on the residual time of the landfill and requires the government to expand the landfill area at certain periods. As a landfill site is not unlimited, there will eventually be a situation where the landfill is no longer able to accommodate waste generation. Considering the basis of what has been concluded above and based on the analysis using Grindle’s theory (policy implementation) which also includes a discussion about supporting and constraining factors, it can be said that a policy reform is immediately needed for handling waste, given that the existing policies are outdated and not in accordance with the current situation especially relating to waste reduction effort. It is recommended that Pontianak Municipality should focus on a number of aspects: organizational aspect, legal and regulatory aspect, operationaltechnical aspect; and financial aspect. Furthermore, the government needs to set targets in a measurable and realistic manner including the development of baseline data regarding the characterization and quantification of waste, the current waste management system (and gaps therein) and the engagement of local stakeholders –the public and the private sector– in preparing an applicable action plan. This is in order to realize the goal of 3R-based integrated waste management and primarily guarantees good environmental quality for the future.
